Default Brake dust

Anyone have any ideas on how to keep the chrome rims clean for longer periods of time. Every time I drive some where I collect quite a bit of brake dust on the rims. I keep some windex and a napkin on me at all times.

every car we get, the first thing I do is put ceramic pads on, even if they dont need new pads,they get replaced right away, I know the track guys will say they are not that good for racing, but we dont race the car anyways, so.... ceramic for me please , Ozzie

Get a set of dustless pads. It worked for me. No dust at all

Ceramic pads should cut down on the dust a bit. Might want to give them a try.
